I don't think the sport is ready for freestyle competitions yet. What's better, a keo spin or a grind? Neither, they're not quantifiable. On what terrain will the competition be? Some people want flat ground, others want ramps. None of this makes sense.

mosher we've had comps before and everyone has fun. there are going to be so many people in town it will be a great time. who cares what people want? they are going to have to work with what they have.

The freestyle is mostly flatland, although you can use anything in the environment to your advantage. It's judged by a series of co-riders and cyclists based on originality, execution and finally, crowd involvement. The crowd also "cheers" at the end for their favorites. Wilis killed it last time because he landed tricks that got the crowd stoked and he had "no dabs"...

I also make sure to hold events like Sprints and Skids which are very easy to judge. At the end of the night, the best scoring riders overall get "prizes".

Hope this clears it up. Are you coming into town for the Film Fest? We'd love to have you...
